Why Cowboys Need A Pardner

3.7/5 ( ratings)

running a ranch of his own can be downright lonely. Sure, he passes the time by telling stories to his horse, Bonecrusher, but that is just not the same as having a pardner of his own. Talking to his horse becomes mighty dull and one-sided after awhile, and when Slim Jim hears the cattle talk, he reckons it's time to round himself up a pardner before he goes completely "loco." The only problem is, his ranch is in the middle of nowhere How is he going to find somebody to keep him company and to help him on his ranch? Well, Slim Jim is one persistent cowboy. With his can-do attitude, he is determined to lasso a pardner, no matter where he-or she-might be.
